I'd say Swadian Knights hands down. The Swadian Sharpshooters just don't impress me, they rarely get kills it seems to me.
 
Yeah I've noticed that in the Native game. Swadia is also greatly outnumbers each other faction in towns/castles/villages also. It's fun to play as Swadian Rebels though.
 
Hmm, I really don't like how noobs come and post stuff that's obvious to us.
I guess this will always happen every once in a blue moon. I dont blame Sporky for his enthusiasm.

Yes, swadian knight

Really? I thought the Vaegirs were just as big. And anyway, the mountains smack in the middle of Swadian territory tend to be a pain to them.
 
They Vaegirs might be. They seem small to me though for some reason. Maybe it's because they're kind've crammed in on the map, and Swadia is very open and there is quite a bit of distance between towns.
 
The only thing that would not suggest the Knight to be the best Swadian unit would be in sieges.. I guess the Sharpshooter have the upper edge there.. But only in defense I guess..

The morningstar is good in sieges though.. So the Knight might prevail over the sharpshooter in sieges too.. ?
 
Swadians don't suck. They're without doubt the best faction in the game.

If you ask me Khergits are one of the worst factions because in sieges they're useless because they don't have their horses.

Pfft. Swadians suck pretty bad in sieges too, only nords and vaegirs are good in sieges. Khergits rule the battlefields without buildings.
 
Rhodoks are pretty good in sieges too.. at least in defense..

Its really hard to find the "Best" faction, you have to make a breed out of every faction to make the best one. IMO, Vaegir marksmen, Nord Huskarls and Swadian Knights/Vaegir knights, and maybe some Khergit units, and maybe some Rhodok sharpshooters..
 
Best units of each faction:

Swadians: Mounted knights(Swadians have medium crossbowmen, lame infantry and good Heavy cavarly)
Nords: Huscarls  (Superior Infantry, medium archers)
Khergits: Horse archers (Superior light and missile cavarly)
Vaegirs: Marksmen (Medium infantry, Good archers, medium horsemen)
Rhodok: Sharpshooters (Poor spearmen, Superior crossbowmen, sergeants are overrated)

Best factions in order:

1st. Khergits (their only weakness are the sieges, where they're not allowed to bring their horses)
2nd. Nords (lack of cavarly units, archers aint too shabby)
3rd. Vaegirs (Medium all around)
4th. Swadians (their infantry sucks)
5th. Rhodoks (If wasnt for the crossbowmen they wouldnt have a fighting chance against Mountain Bandits)
 
Dude, Khergits are not that great, in fact 20 Huscarls can kill 10 vet. horse archers, 10 lancer and 10 Khergit tribesmen with a loss of 5 troops at most on the Nord side.

Well that's because you were actively in the battle. Without you there, those nords would've been slaughtered.
